Sent it to okfn-discuss at lists.okfn.org today.
Also put it on "Twitter" last week and it circulated a little.

This is the point at which it would be great to promote the event in our 
own circles. Have sent a couple mails to folks at NLS, RCAHMS and will 
send more. Asking a colleague to circulate through Scottish Spatial Data 
Infrastructure type circles.

Recalling Robin's questions about audience, and my inability to answer 
them. OKCons in London always had a very eclectic mix, activist kids and 
civil servants rubbing shoulders, and felt the healthier for it.

However as has come up on the OKFN discuss list there is strong 
potential energy around Scottish government open data portal, several 
partly overlapping groups of people and it would be good to get them all 
in the same room in a relaxed setting.

cheers,


jo
